4k with Flame Grab on my Dagger / Dagger Elementalist. As a Glass cannon build, against another Glass Cannon build. In WvW. Then I was hit for about 17k by One-Hundred-Blades immediately after that so yeah.

I imagine the single highest damage ability in the game is backstab or killshot. But GW2 doesn't count one source of damage as a single hit. Multiple sources of damage from the same ability or at the same time will show as a single hit.

I was being mildly facetious. The build I'm running is technically Glass Cannon, but the damage I pull is sub-par compared to a lot of classes. It's mainly because I'm low level, but I honestly feel I hit harder on other classes with a lot less effort required.

Oh no... you can oneshot someone who doesn't have any toughness or vitality... mesmers are soooooooooo overpowered lets nerf them!!

You know... it's not like i can't crit you for an 11k swoop followed up by my pet critting you for the rest of your healthbar and then i can bust out my sylvari jig on your downed corpse as i let my pet cause you to bleed to death...

PS: I know counting is hard, but that's not a one shot xD

I will say absolutely honestly, I don't do spvp, but I do a real lot of wvw and on my mostly-glass cannon (I have a very unusual spec, that lets me have few "oh shit" automatic spells that let me survive everything and everyone but a focused zerg, without losing almost none of damage. And no, I will not share it, don't ask) warrior I NEVER been brought not even to 1/3d of life in one hit, let alone one shotted, while 9k kill shots on plate are quite usual for me. 12-14k are not uncommon either, naturally on light-medium armored targets.
